Balloon Race

Whew - I know we've been posting quite a bit lately, but we've been doing a lot of fun things! Ryan's at that age where he gets a kick out of exploring new places, and with a much more predictable nap schedule, we've been out and about a lot more than we used to be.

So, to continue with our "firsts" and fun, yesterday we went to the hot air balloon race at Forest Park. Ryan and cousin Autumn loved crawling around the Purina VIP tent at the edge of the balloon field, and especially listening to the roar of the flames that helped inflate the balloons. Just a few of my favorite pics are below:

Here's Ryan with daddy -- looking like his "mini me" again:

Another fabulous outing. Stay tuned for a trip to the Botanical Gardens this week!
